@DarkLady2788 What type of vertigo do you have? Do you take Meclizine? I have central vertigo which has nothing to do with my ear. Not sure what brought it on but my Dad had it and my nephew has it. I did find that out that my symptoms can be linked to hydration. I can drink tea and coffee all day but I also have to drink a lot of water. If I don't drink enough water it gets bad and I have to up my medication. I work at a call center so I can sit and work. If my vertigo happens at work I have to leave my car and call a taxi or a family member to get me home. It takes a day or two (sometimes longer) for the medication to start working again.
Although I have linked mine to hydration it still happen sometimes. For instance I can not sit down and read a book and when I ride in a car as a passenger I have to move my head around. I can't just stare out the window and day dream. Focusing my eyes on one thing that is stationary brings on my vertigo which has awful symptoms as you know. I have a small blinking light next to my computer at work which makes me blink. At home I have little light shows that play in every room. Yes, the Sims have similar ones for both kids and adults. lol Anyway, we all have to cope with one thing or another. Glad to meet someone that knows what I go through. Remember what works for me may not work for others. The triggers may also very.
